I also don't get the people who use the "keep the series alive" excuse. Personally I don't think the DMC series was in any danger. They've only had four games, and only one of those four wasn't that great (DMC2) and yes there are people who dislike DMC4, but on Metacritic it's user score is 8.3/10, and I know you shouldn't let scores influence your opinion. But clearly no one disliked DMC4 enough to give it a crap load 0/10 scores like DmC (who's score is 4.3/10, heck even DMC2 has a 7.2/10 score). But my point is, I do not see how this reboot was necessary. There were plenty of things they could've done. They could've brought back Vergil or Mundus (Since Mundus did say he would be back someday, and we're still not 100% sure what happened to Vergil) They could've shown what happened after DMC2 (but let Dante have his trash talking additude), I (and I've had people agree with me on this) would love to see a game about Sparda. Heck they could've just continued the series with Nero (Donte<Nero, at-least Nero was a brand new character, who was never meant to be Dante or out due Dante, while Donte on the other hand was meant to be Dante's second coming). Also Dante's half-demon, his father was over two-thousand years old. It's not that hard to believe Dante might age slowly and live for a couple hundred years (at-least). Point is, the series didn't need saving.
